| Summary |
"Art in the Age of Mass Media extends the debate begun in 1972 by John Berger's Ways of Seeing into a consideration of modern art and the problems faced by living artists. John Walker examines ways in which contemporary 'fine art' practice interconnects with the mass media, the politics of museum art, and the central question of whether fine art retains any vital social role. The author combines critical analyses of selected paintings, adveritsements and photomontages with discussions of pop art, the media's use of art, the impact of mechanical reproduction, and community art, in order to stress the importance of critical responsibilty, not only for those who produce art, but for audiences as well."--BOOK COVER |
